Re: 5494 Remote Controller in a TCPIP network

[Mike.Crump@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Greg,

It is most likely you used DLSw to incorporate your 5494's into the frame
relay network.    Or some form of STUN.  In our case we use DLSw with our
CISCO routers.  While the details of DLSw are very fuzzy in my head the
simple definition is that the SNA traffic is encapsulated into a TCP/IP
frame by the router.  If there would be an address associated it would be
within the router.

It is my opinion that by looking at the iSeries or the 5494 you cannot
determine any information.  In fact, other than some minor tweeks to
timeout settings the connections look like they are SNA over a LAN
connection....

 Controller description . . . . . . :   CTLD        XXX494
 Option . . . . . . . . . . . . . . :   OPTION      *ALL
 Category of controller . . . . . . :               *APPC

Notice the category and link type?  So, I'm guessing the question is best
referred to who is managing the network/routers.......

We changed from leased lines to a frame relay network about 4 years ago.
At
that time I was not involved in setting this up.   There are 2 remote
workstation controllers at the distant side of the network.

I am being asked what is the TCPIP address of these 2 controllers.   I can
not find this info when I look at the controller's description or anywhere
else.

I'm not even sure that they have IP addresses.  Perhaps they work with MAC
addresses.

Could someone point me in the right direction on this.

TIA,
Greg Wenzloff
